First Impressions

Zuri leans into a modern “beach club dinner” aesthetic: warm lighting, stylish décor, and a setting designed for
lingering—especially around golden hour. The menu is intentionally broad, which is a big win if your group can’t
agree between Thai classics, Indian comfort food, or grilled Turkish flavors.

If you’re comparing it to ultra-local street food, it will feel more polished and more expensive. If you’re
comparing it to other Patong beachfront venues, it lands in the “worth considering” bracket for atmosphere,
service, and variety.

What to Order at Zuri Restaurant

The safest way to order here is to mix-and-match across the menus—one Thai, one Indian, one Turkish—so everyone
gets what they actually want.

Indian favorites

• Butter Chicken – a rich, creamy staple that tends to be consistently satisfying.
• Biryani – aromatic rice, great for sharing as a main-plus-side combo.
• Tandoori / grilled items – ideal if you want bold flavor without heavy sauces.

Turkish picks

• Kebabs – a straightforward choice, especially with dips and bread for the table.
• Meze-style starters – good for sharing while you wait for sunset.

Thai comfort options

• Curries – dependable if you want something warming and familiar.
• Thai stir-fries – quick, easy, and usually a good “safe” order.

Drinks

Zuri is frequently recommended for its cocktails. If you’re coming for the full experience, consider starting
with a drink during sunset and ordering food once you’ve settled into the vibe.

Atmosphere, Service, and Seating

This is a social, upbeat place—more “dinner + drinks” than “quiet date night.” Service is commonly described as
friendly and attentive, and the beachfront setting makes it especially popular in the early evening.

Tip: If sunset matters to you, book ahead (or arrive early) and ask for the best view seats.

Prices: Is Zuri Worth It?

Expect prices that are higher than local Thai canteens and street food. You’re paying for the location, the
presentation, the extensive menu, and the “Patong beachfront night out” feel.

It’s most worth it if you value ambience, want a one-stop menu for a group, or you’re specifically craving
Indian/Turkish options while in Phuket.

Who Should Go (and Who Should Skip)

Go if you want…

• A stylish Patong Beach dinner with sunset potential
• Indian food in Phuket (with Thai & Turkish backup options)
• A lively atmosphere with cocktails
• A menu that works for groups and mixed preferences

Skip if you prefer…

• Ultra-local Thai food at local prices

Practical Tips Before You Go

• Best time: Arrive before sunset for the view, stay for dinner.
• Reservations: Recommended for peak times and weekends.
• Group strategy: Order a spread—one butter chicken or biryani, one kebab/meze, one Thai dish.
• Budget: Plan for “tourist area + beachfront” pricing.

How to Get There

Zuri is located on Patong Beach. If you’re staying in Patong, it’s often reachable by walking.
From other areas (Kata, Karon, Kamala, Phuket Town), taxi/Grab is the easiest option—just plan extra time for
evening traffic.
